Unhappy Passenger side HID problems....

Just got done changing bulbs and as I pulled the old one it looked brand new but I put the new in anyway. Pass side still not working, anybody ran into this before any and all help is very much appreciated. Already checked all fuses and wiring all seems ok.

1. Switch the ballast to see if the other side fails
2. order ballast
3. return the bulb

I mean that is a free (except your time) and easy way to isolate the problem.

It could be a wiring issue, it could be a plug, or anything.

Here are some related discussions:

As far as cost I'm not much help.

Depending on the year of your car will determine which ballast you need. 04-06 ballasts are a bit bigger than the 07-08

here's an 07-08 ballast.

04-06 ballast
